A few weeks ago, back in Boston Land - my bestest pal in the world, and pro-photographer extraordinaire came over on one of those too dang hot to move kinda summer days. We spent the afternoon on the back porch, where I forced him to play Uncle Wiggily with me. These photos have been sitting on my computer since then ... hiding away in my iphoto because my hot frizzy hair was a little too crazy crack head for my liking. But, I miss Jeff and that back porch and hot days that make your hair go floofy ... so here we are!

I don't know what the weather is like where you are right now - but if it's hot, have an ice cream cone! And if your best friends and family are close - give them bear hugs!

PS That lovely dress I'm wearing is one I picked up from Stellate Vintage on etsy! I looove it, but I don't fill it out properly and I don't think there's too much opportunity in SF for me to wear even a quarter of all the summer dresses I have... So - expect a blog post about a Big Cartel shop update later today!!!

i think you are one of the only girls capable of making me miss summer when im so excited about Fall! these pictures are fantastic! i hope you aren't feeling too homesick today. i'll have an ice cream cone in your name today miss.

having grown up a little north of San Fran, in the cold winds of fall and winter, and also having a huge love of girly dresses and things, its all just about layering! You keep wearing those summer dresses girl! Just throw on a pretty ruffled longsleved shirt underneath, or a soft turtle neck, some tights, maybe even a slip or two. Think of the layering possibilities with the onset of cold weather!

Aw shucks--I really do hope you know just how adorable and wonderful I think you are!! These pictures make me wish for hot summer days, even though all I want to do right now is jump in leaves and wear caridgans and tights! That dress truly, truly looks a-dorable on you with those perfect little shoes; and I love the scarves you've been puttin' in your hair lately! The loveliest! Aw, and I hope you don't get too homesick! And I promise I'll go give Kat a big ol' bear hug when I see her tomorrow!

Sooo, funny, that the two things that I zeroed in on and absolutely adore about this look are the two things you aren't pleased with. First thing I thought was, "EGAD, Her hair is perfection! I can never get my hair to look that perfectly tousled without it looking frizzy and messy." Second thought was, "It must be so nice to be able to wear simple little dresses like that and not have it be tight and binding, to have something be ever so slightly loose without it being unflattering to the figure."

Haha I know that dress! I guess I'm not "busty" enough for it either...Anyway, I still think it looks wonderful on you and it has the most lovely shade of blue! The photos are really nice, it's so lovely to discover forgotten treasures :)

It's funny, before I read "crack head hair" I was thinking of how gorgeous your hair looks in these photos (I love the scarf!), but I must confess that your terminology made me laugh 'til the point of tears! :)

my mom grew up with uncle wiggly and passed the gene to me. she has the most lovely original uncle wiggly stuffies.she bought the stories for my son for easter. i've been meaning to sit and read it cover to cover myself
